Finally, custom paint is finished. w/ kit

elementdrummer · 07-06-2007, 06:50 AM

here it is, my 1999 grand am se w/ the show off 3 body kit. paintjob done by me and my uncle, and all seamless done by me w/ some fiberglass work and some bondo. body kit installed in my driveway. took 2 months.

pyro · 07-06-2007, 06:54 AM

sorry guy, but not feelin' it at all. props for the work, but it's not a winner in my book.

DrFabulous · 07-06-2007, 06:54 AM

I think you picked the worst kit made for the GA,, and it looks really goofy with the paintjob.

However, I do think the paintjob is pretty cool by itself.... I just would not have put it on that car.

lastyear4gt · 07-06-2007, 06:58 AM

It looks kinda sick! Not a route I would go but I kinda dig it.

Suggestions: Loose the rims go BIGGER, drop it, and do something with the exhaust it looks like a hondas take on dual canadian tire exhaust.

Good work nonetheless.

Cool paint job, just not on that car with that kit.

Exodus · 07-06-2007, 07:38 AM

ditto on the (-) comment regarding the kit, paint job creative but not working for me.

Nina · 07-06-2007, 08:11 AM

I like the kit! Good work!

rennation · 07-06-2007, 08:41 AM

the idea is sweet, but i dont think the colors work as well for the effect for some reason...but props for DIY

Bryan · 07-06-2007, 08:45 AM

Eh, to say the least, it looks kinda weird to me.

Graxall · 07-06-2007, 09:38 AM

A for effort thats about it

Hodge · 07-06-2007, 09:45 AM

i think the paint job is sweet, but with that kit you got to throw some bigger rims to compensate for the crazy body outlines. but looks like u guys can paint.

SikMindz · 07-06-2007, 10:17 AM

Meh..not feeling the "tear" paint or the kit.

tenspeed · 07-06-2007, 10:38 AM

Nice job, it looks good. Wheels (when you afford them) would be a plus.

fived · 07-06-2007, 10:51 AM

Cleared headlights, GT tails, put it on bags or even lower it please, and get 18s or 19s...

GrandAmGT1996 · 07-06-2007, 12:29 PM

Sorry, I just hate that kit...the paint itself looks good but I dont know if I would have chose the scheme you did...but props for the DIY.

edit: why didnt you fill in the doors if you did all that other work?

Jake · 07-06-2007, 02:20 PM

I like it man.

Would like to see bigger rims and a drop, but I like the kit and the paint.

cardude007617 · 07-06-2007, 02:33 PM

i kinda like it too, bigger rims with a drop and it would look slick

silvergtjrad · 07-06-2007, 02:36 PM

The paint is unique, very different from any of the other custom stuff ive seen on any GAGTs. I really dont like that kit at all though.

Jake · 07-06-2007, 02:37 PM

WHy does everyone hate on that kit so much wats so wrong with it.

Bryan · 07-06-2007, 02:42 PM

I really don't like all the vent/hole things it has all over. It's not terrible IMO though.
